16. But you are still going to help me – Pero todavía vas ayudarme

I think there should be an "a" before ayudarme:
todavia vas a ayudarme


18. That we have to go to the theater – Que tenemos que al teatro

left out "ir" : tenemos que ir al teatro

#16 should be 'vas a ayudarme'. There's a phenomenon in Spanish pronunciation called sinalefa. According to Modern Spanish Grammar (Kattán-Ibarra and Pountain): "When one word ends in a vowel and the next word begins in a vowel, the two vowels are considered to belong to the same syllable." To our gringo ears, vowels that we see in written Spanish appear not to be there in the spoken language because of this blending effect. Thus 'vas a ayudarme' will sound like 'vas ayudarme'.
